Roma’s Italian Beef & Sausage
About
Roma’s Italian Beef & Sausage is a family-owned beef stand at 4237 N. Cicero Ave. in Portage Park, north of Berteau Avenue. Choose Chicago’s 2026 guide puts the stand at fifty years in business. The menu is Italian beef, Italian sausage and combo sandwiches, and the house giardiniera is chunky rather than finely chopped. Roma’s shows up on most local rankings of the city’s best beef, mainly for getting the bread-to-beef balance right, which many stands do not.
